What Is YKTarget?
YKTarget is a World of Warcraft addon created for making party/raid targeting easier and quicker. The previous incarnation of this addon was NYAN Raid Target which has now been abandoned and replaced with YKTarget.

What Does It Do?
The addon displays targeting icons by default in the top center of the screen. A button for each raid target icon, 1 for clearing an icon, and 1 for ready check are all available.

The addon will only display when you are in a group or raid and have the ability to target. In other words you need to be a party leader, raid leader, or raid assistant for it to popup. This was done to keep your screen as clear as possible when you're not able to target.

In addition, the addon will not show while you are in Wintergrasp. This was added after testing and found that there was no real reason to show the addon whilst PvPing. The addon also hides during other battlegrounds.

There is one slash command for YKT and that is /ykt : this toggles force hiding the addon.

What Can I Customise?
At the moment you can offset its position on the screen. Alter its scale and its transparency to suit your play style and as of version 2 you can choose different skins.

Originally posted by Aradia I really like this addon because it is so simple and I need simple...but how do I access the options for it? I would like to move it, change the scale on it, or even the skin and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do that..

If you press Escape the choose Interface, then the Addons tab you can see the options there

Originally posted by Grenchlok I use to use Targeting Icons but it only works if you are Raid/Party leader. No good if you only have assist (which I do most of the time as tank). I also really like the skin options of YKTarget. Personally, I like the simplicity of Gloss Horizontal. I scale it down really small and place it right above the mobs portrait. Very easy to get to and change a target on the fly.

Other addons have more functionality (Quick Mark) that allow you to assign team members to certain targets and whisper players or raid on assignments but they do not have the flexibility to change size, location and shape the way YKTarget does. That flexibility is the most important feature for me as I hate when adds get in the way of me getting my job done. Love this add on! Thanks for your work on it and the great improvements with the latest release!!

You're very welcome and I'm glad you find it useful. Always nice to hear someone out there likes this addon

Thanks for the new version Like the new skins pretty nice. I do have a request for the next update though

Is there anyway you can make it so it actually goes all the way to the top/bottom and left/right of my screen when i use the X,Y options? I take it the 1000/-1000 on the "X" is pixels? so if you use a higher resolution it won't move over any further same with the "Y". I use the resolution 1280 x 1024.

That my current interface, right now your YKT pops up at the top center, I want it to actually pop up at the bottom right where my pet bar is and would like to turn it 180 degrees so the flat part touches my shot rotation panel. That way its easier for me to mark targets since I am a clicked I won't have to move my curson all the way to the top then back to the bottom.
